Hi Sharon, I hate to hear of Martha's passing. She had written me in past years. She was a jewel for her joy of genealogy and always wanting to help others. She gave a lot to a lot of people. Thanks for letting us know. Marianne Dillow Illinois FmlyTracer@aol.com wrote: It is with great sadness that I announce Allen Co has again lost a champion of genealogy and history. Martha Werst Jackson was buried on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2008. Martha published many books recording Allen Co's documents and she had a true love of the area and family, although it was not her native home. Sharon Tabor
